Recently, an increasing number of pharmaceutical scientists and clinical pharmacists have begun to focus on pharmacodynamics, which relates the time course of drug concentration to the time course of pharmacological effects. An integration knowledge of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is essential for the development of rational pharmacotherapeutics because pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics are able to determines the drug concentration required to produce the desired therapeutic effect and the drug dose regimen required to achieve the targeted drug concentration, respectively, by using various models. The general principles of the drug effect model are based on the reversible direct and indirect models. In this review, various models in terms of the time course of drug effects are presented and discussed.
